One of the products I just love using are the Heidi Swapp clear stamps. This layout features one of her word stamps - Memories. She has many stamps and embellishments to choose from. To find out more you can visit her website - www.heidiswapp.com or your local crafts and scrapbook store. During the Thanksgiving season we make so many memories and we take many photographs. I included four photographs because I know there will be lots of photographs of family and friends for this special celebration. Pictures tell a story but it doesn't tell everything so I designed this sketch where the journaling was the prominent feature to help tell your Thanksgiving story.

FREE SVG Monday: Fa La La La Flower
Christmas is right around the corner so I thought I would design a Christmas themed SVG. Although this design could be used for a variety of layouts using these traditional Christmas color combinations makes it a great addition to any card or scrapbook page.
➊ Instead of using plain cardstock choose patterned paper for your cut outs to add interest.
➋ If you are using one sided paper and you are bothered by the white on the back add color by using your favorite ink pad and a sponge.

FREE Sketch Wednesday #16
I am still using flowers on my layouts, so once again it is the main embellishment in this week's sketch. I am really challenging myself to use up the flowers that I have had for such a long time. Seriously, I had to dust off the containers they were stored in :). However, do not let the flowers hold you back. Check out the tips below for inspiration. I am finished with flowers for now though. My next product challenge will be felt.

➊ The flowers can be replaced by stars for a Veteran's day, 4th of July or Memorial day layout.
➋ Use hearts for a date night, engagement, anniversary and the list goes on.
➌ For a more masculine layout use buttons in different sizes, shapes, and colors.

FREE SVG Monday: Leaf it to me
As you may remember, a few weeks ago I designed some leaves. Well, after using them on a few projects I thought that they would look awesome on the corner of a journaling spot and I love the way the design turned out. It will look great on a scrapbook layout. Don't feel left out card makers, the journaling spot could easily be added on the front of a card. Just use your favorite stamp instead of journaling lines and voila!
➊ Use dimensionals or pop up dots on the largest leaf, as shown in the second image, for added interest.
➋ For more customization draw lines as I did or doodle on the leaves. Be sure to sketch in pencil first.
➌ The journaling spot can also be used as a a tag to add on a gift or to include in a mini album.

Hello guys,
Seriously I have no idea why I am on this flower craze. I think it's because I worked on the pink mini for quite a while. I guess I really got in touch with my pink, girly style. I do hope you enjoy this week's layout.

➊ Use leaves in the place of the flowers with some fall photographs for an awesome layout. I like to layer my leaves on my layouts and just like flowers buttons look really good on leaves. Try it!
➋ If you have winter photographs that you need to scrapbook well pull them out for this sketch. Substitute snowflakes for the flowers and a wonderful project awaits you.
➌ With both fall and winter I have so many photographs of the kids and I usually can't pick just a few. If you are like me, double up on the photographs and make this sketch into a 2 page layout. Simply duplicate the same or coordinating paper pattern on the second page. The more pictures the happier you shall be!
